REFLECTIONS OF SOCIAL WORKERS IN SOUTH AFRICA}, volume={58}, url={https://socialwork.journals.ac.za/pub/article/view/1079}, DOI={10.15270/58-4-1079}, abstractNote={<p>This article reports on qualitative research, aimed at acquiring an understanding of what transpires in an individual social work supervision session in South Africa. Findings reveal that supervision sessions are chiefly “open door” and “on the run”, with minimal evidence of critical reflection. A key recommendation stresses that the evolution of supervision in the country should enter a new phase as response to the hegemony of a neoliberal inspired managerial discourse in social work. The deliberate utilisation of more clinical educational and supportive elements, and critical reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action in supervision sessions is therefore recommended.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Social Work/Maatskaplike Werk}, author={Chibaya, Nyasha H and Engelbrecht, Lambert K}, year={2022}, month={Nov.}, pages={520–545} }
